Device Description
Duralastic I and II Silicone Elastomer Sheeting is made from a biocompatible silicone high consistency rubber, HCRP-50 made by Applied Silicone. It is available in polyester mesh reinforced and nonreinforced in a variety of thicknesses. The silicone elastomer used to make this product have met all Biocompatibility Guidelines set for by FDA for the replacement of Dow Corning Products. These biomaterial standards exceed or meet Class VI USP Standards in that they include Teratogenicity, Mutagenicity, Carcinogenicity and Toxicity Testing. These referenced material characterizations are found in Applied Master File - MAF 704. Duralastic Sheeting is a peroxide cured rubber of a 45 - 55 Durometer hardness (Shore A). It has an elasticity of 700 percent with a tensile strength of 1600 psi and a tear strength of 190 psi (Tear Die C). The elasticity is greatly reduced in the polyester reinforced sheets. The specific gravity is 1.16. Chemically Duralastic I and II are made from HCRA-50, an Applied Silicone dimethylpolysiloxane.

No
The device description focuses on the material properties and intended uses of silicone elastomer sheeting, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the presence of AI or ML.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section lists various medical applications such as "Nasal Splinting," "wound covering for gastroschisis," "Tympanic Membrane Repair," and "Correction of Strabismus," which are procedures aimed at treating or alleviating medical conditions.

No

The description of the device's intended use and function clearly indicates it is a material for surgical repair, wound covering, and tissue regeneration, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is made from "biocompatible silicone high consistency rubber" and is available in "polyester mesh reinforced and nonreinforced in a variety of thicknesses," indicating it is a physical material, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to surgical procedures, wound management, and tissue repair within the body. IVDs are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a silicone elastomer sheeting used for physical support and covering within the body. This is consistent with a surgical implant or dressing, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples or provide diagnostic information.

The device is clearly intended for therapeutic and supportive purposes within the body, which falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

(a)
Identification. Ear, nose, and throat synthetic polymer material is a device material that is intended to be implanted for use as a space-occupying substance in the reconstructive surgery of the head and neck. The device is used, for example, in augmentation rhinoplasty and in tissue defect closures in the esophagus. The device is shaped and formed by the suregon to conform to the patient's needs. This generic type of device is made of material such as polyamide mesh or foil and porous polyethylene.(b)

510 (K) SUMMARY

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Duralastic I and II Silicone Elastomer Sheeting is made from a biocompatible silicone high consistency rubber, HCRP-50 made by Applied Silicone. It is available in polyester mesh reinforced and nonreinforced in a variety of thicknesses. The silicone elastomer used to make this product have met all Biocompatibility Guidelines set for by FDA for the replacement of Dow Corning Products. These biomaterial standards exceed or meet Class VI USP Standards in that they include Teratogenicity, Mutagenicity, Carcinogenicity and Toxicity Testing. These referenced material characterizations are found in Applied Master File - MAF 704

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

Under it's original 510k K955368 and K955370 Duralastic I and II was found to be SE to Applied Biomaterial Technologies Duralastic Sheeting and Dow Corning's Silastic Sheeting in the Premarket Notification for the nonsterile Duralastic Sheeting. Because Duralastic Sheeting is made from Dow Corning Analogs and made in the same sizes and thicknesses for the same intended use it has been found SE to the predicate devices.

INTENDED USES

Duralastic I and II are intended for a variety of medical purposes both in short term and long term applications. For short term application this list includes nasal splinting, wound dressings, scar coverings, temporary use in TMJ disease, temporary joint shims, and laboratory uses. For long term use this list includes nasal septal repair, orbital floor reconstruction, tympanic membrane repair, dialysis shunt anchoring, duramater repair, staged repair of omphalocoel, lengthening of extraocular muscles, tendon and nerve anastomosis, facilitation of osteogenesis or guided tissue regeneration, and other uses deemed appropriate by the using surgeon. Silicone sheeting has been in use for over 30 years and the uses are myriad. Allied Biomedical advises surgeons to consult the literature before utilizing Duralastic Sheeting for any purpose in the package inserts.

PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

Duralastic Sheeting is a peroxide cured rubber of a 45 - 55

STERILIZATION CYCLE

Duralastic I and II sheeting are sterilized via gamma radiation 2.5 - 4.2 Megarads. The validation of this cycle was performed by STI Corporation of Brea California. STI uses Sterigenics Inc. as the contract gamma radiation sterilizer. The validation uses Method 1 Testing as defined in the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-1994 "Sterilization of Health Care Products - Requirements for Validation and Routine Control - Radiation Sterilization."
